The Dangers of Leaving God’s Covering
Day 6 – Friday, July 26, 2025
 
 The Dangers of Leaving God’s Covering

Scripture: “Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—the Most High, who is my refuge—no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.” — Psalm 91:9–10 (ESV)

 Morning Devotional: You Can’t Afford to Walk Uncovered
 
Resilient woman of God—listen carefully: Your survival wasn’t random. Your protection wasn’t luck. Your peace wasn’t accidental. It was all because you were covered.
 
But there’s danger when you leave that covering.
 
There’s danger in choosing your way over God’s way.
There’s danger in choosing comfort over conviction.
There’s danger in thinking you can handle life without the presence of God surrounding you.
Because outside of His will, you’re open. Unshielded. Unprotected. And the enemy loves an unguarded woman.

Let’s Be Real… You Know What It’s Like to Be Uncovered
 
You’ve been there—
  • Praying less.
  • Trusting yourself more than God.
  • Reacting instead of waiting.
  • Forcing doors open that God never meant you to walk through.
  • Feeling the weight of life’s fire with no peace, no clarity, no shelter.
 
And it left you drained. Empty. Attacked.
Why? Because you stepped out from under the covering—and didn’t even realize it.

Psalm 91:9–10 gives us a spiritual truth with real consequences.
 
God says when you make Him your dwelling, when you don’t just visit His presence but live in it—evil cannot overtake you. Destruction cannot devour you.
That’s a promise.
 
But when you stop dwelling—when you move in your flesh, ignore the Holy Spirit, disobey God’s Word—you’re out of bounds.
And outside the shelter, the enemy can strike.

Sis, You’re Too Valuable to Be Uncovered
 
You carry a calling.
You’ve been delivered from things others didn’t make it out of.
You’re breaking generational curses.
You’re raising children. Leading others. Healing from trauma.
 
You can’t afford to be out here uncovered.
Not now. Not in this season.

The Enemy Watches for the Moment You Step Out of Position
 
He knows he can’t reach you while you’re hidden in God.
But when you step outside the will of God—
  • Out of alignment.
  • Out of obedience.
  • Out of prayer.
  • Out of submission—
 
You become a walking target.
And the attacks get personal. The warfare gets heavier. The confusion gets louder.
 
But here’s the truth: You can return. Right now. No shame. No delay. Just surrender.

Spiritual Awareness Activation
 
Ask yourself this:
“Have I walked out from under God’s covering?”
“Am I trying to do life my way—and wondering why I feel so under attack?”
 
If the answer is yes, today is your call back.
Back to alignment.
Back to obedience.
Back to the shelter that never stopped being open.

Declare This Right Now:
 
“I will not live exposed. I run back into God’s presence. I choose to dwell—not drift. I am covered. I am guarded. I am protected under the shadow of the Most High.”

Prayer:
 
Father, forgive me for walking away from Your covering—whether through pride, fear, pain, or impatience. I’ve felt the weight of life outside Your will. I’ve tasted the warfare of disobedience. But today, I come back. Cover me again. Restore my awareness. Renew my surrender. Anchor me in Your presence. I choose to dwell in You. I choose alignment. I choose divine protection. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Affirmation of the Day:
 
“I am not wandering—I am rooted. I do not walk exposed—I walk covered. I do not lead myself—I follow God. His presence is my shelter, and I dwell in it daily.”

My Journey To Resilience And Redemption

Hey Resilient Woman, 

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am a woman who has experienced the depths of pain, addiction, and trauma—but also the transformative power of God’s grace and healing. My life is a testimony of how surrendering to God can bring renewal and restoration, no matter how broken the pieces may seem.
 
For years, I struggled with addiction, loss, and the scars of past trauma, but through faith and determination, I found freedom and purpose. Today, I dedicate my life to helping other women discover that same freedom. Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I strive to create resources that inspire hope, build resilience, and guide women on their journey to recovery—just as I’ve been guided on mine.
 
I believe healing is possible for every woman, no matter her story. My mission is to provide faith-based tools and encouragement to help women see their worth, embrace God’s promises, and walk boldly into the life He has planned for them. I am living proof that God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful, and it is my heart’s calling to walk alongside others as they step into their own transformation.
